Success!<br><br>Hi everyone. Turns out the problem was my receiver, and it turns out that my assumption that I couldn't use my second receiver (for which I had no access card) for debugging purposes was incorrect. That is, there is no problem with downloading the software upgrade to a D10-300 with an invalid access card. You can't see any images, but you can test out the
directv.pl perl script: get_channel, get_datetime, etc. <br><br>Bottom line: the channel change script works on one of my D10-300 receivers but not the other. I'm not sure of any way to debug the broken receiver. The software version on both is now the same: 0x1043.
<br><br>I think I'm just going to buy another D10-300 and PVR-150 card! I'm ordering a new access card for the working receiver right now. That's $20 wasted on the broken receiver, but at least now there isn't any risk. I know it works! I just love changing the channels from the command line!!!
<br><br>As a side note, I got my working receiver to work BEFORE downloading the most recent software. It already had on it version 0x100A which posed no problem to the perl script.<br><br>Thanks for all the help! <br><br>

Is there any difference between the d11-100 and say the d11-500?
Especially in terms of getting the directv.pl script to work? <div><span class="e" id="q_114b3f6021856c12_1"><br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 8/29/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">Brad DerManouelian</b> <<a href="mailto:myth@dermanouelian.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">
